Only three of the top 50 global stablecoins by market cap are currently compliant with the EU's MiCA regulation, highlighting a significant gap between the market and the new rules. All three compliant tokens ($USDC, $USDG, and $EURC) are linked to Circle, with an upcoming MiCA review expected to address market competitiveness and potentially recognize foreign-regulated stablecoins.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
Europe's stablecoin market is now functionally a Circle monopoly, as major rivals remain non-compliant with MiCA. You either build on Circle's rails for EU customers or launch a compliant alternative into a wide-open field.
